Jennifer Hanson's New CD Thankful
Available June 3rd
Universal Records South Releases
As Digital Exclusive
Nashville , TN May 8, 2008 -- Universal Records South will
release Jennifer Hanson's new full length studio CD as a digital
exclusive, available for download beginning June 3rd. Titled
Thankful, the CD features all new music written by the artist, and
co-produced by Jennifer and Nick Brophy. The CD will include
singles "Joyride" and "'73," as well as the title track, performed with
Vince Gill.
According to Jennifer, the CD's title was a natural choice,
because making this CD was not only a labor of love, it was also a
leap of faith. "When I began the process of writing and recording
this record, I didn't have a label home for it," Jennifer said. "But I
knew I had to make the record, and just go on faith that I would
somehow be able to get it out there to the music fans. And that's
just what happened when I played what I had done for Mark Wright
and Fletcher Foster. They heard what I was trying to do with this
album, and jumped on board. And for that, I am thankful."
The plan to initially release the CD as a digital only exclusive
is one label GM and Senior VP Fletcher Foster believes to be
important to the overall development of Jennifer Hanson as an
artist. "Jennifer has been able to develop a strong following
through her artistry as a writer and a performer. She has a solid
Internet presence, and we as a label feel the best way to market her
new music is by capitalizing on this awareness," Foster said. "Her
last single received an impressive number of downloads, and I
have no doubt that by partnering with the various digital outlets we
will be able to get her music to her fans and continue to increase
her fan base."
In the past few years, Jennifer has become one of Nashville 's
top songwriters. She penned the multi-week #1 hit "Leave the
Pieces" for the Wreckers, as well as American Idol finalist Bucky
Covington's Top 5 "A Different World." She also co-wrote all of the
music on the upcoming Thankful album, as well as the majority of
the songs on her debut, self-titled release, featuring her hit single,
"Beautiful Goodbye."
"Our format needs artists like Jennifer," said Universal Records
South President Mark Wright. "She's one of those truly gifted
individuals who can tap into our emotions with a song, and deliver
that song with the conviction of someone who has lived what she
writes. This album is full of the kind of moments that make a
listener feel totally connected with the artist."
Thankful will be available exclusively on all digital retail outlets
beginning June 3rd.
